He chose the book we both read--The Evening Crowd at Kirmser's--and we sit down to talk about the book, writing, memoirs, queer history and culture, and any number of other things.Here's his bio:Bronson Lemer is the author of The Last Deployment: How a Gay, Hammer-Swinging Twentysomething Survived a Year in Iraq and The Lonely Veteran’s Guide to Companionship.
